Die Cut Divas' Sponsor for February is none other then Hero Arts and this is my sample card for the blog.

Just use Red or Pink in your creation.

This is the first time I've used the Hawaii stamp. I bought it December and thought I'd start the month with Hawaii in mind, especially after all the rain we've had. I want some nice sunny weather and since I can't go now, I can dream, stamp, and color.

This stamp is a lot of fun to color and dream of vacations in the future. I used some scrap paper as a background, dotted some Nuvo Crystal Drops and die-cuts using the back side of the background panel.

I made a simple card, but I think it turned out rather good. I really haven't used my Dylusions sprays very much and I had a go at it. I die cut some white card stock. taped the die-cut down with removable tape, started at the bottom with the lime, worked up with the blue and ended with the pink. I pulled the die-cut up and decided to spray the palm with one solid color. I wiped excess off and let it dry. Since I wanted to leave some of the white behind it, I adhered the die-cut so peaks of white could be seen under the blue palm leaves. Hope you like it.

The theme for February is Any Shade of Red. I made a Sympathy card for a friend who lost his wife for our co-workers to sign. She was the sweetest person. We were all in a daze when we heard. The card is large so more people can sign - it's an 8 1/2 inch by 12 inch card stock folded in half. I think this card shows we care.

You have got to see the New releases today too. I'll post them right after my sample.

I certainly can't resist them, so you shouldn't resist either.

The sample card I made for the new challenge starting today was one I chose to just sit and color in a landscape. It's so nice to have a marvelous landscape to color. Morgan's images are so artful, so magical, that I love to sit and color them.

I had two very favorite stamps and dies sets from 2016. The coffee cups and cuts offer so many possibilities that I want to use them year round. Then I couldn't put down this poinsettia stamp, either using it with the outline die or all three dies. I've used this die on boxes and cards and am still loving the versatility. I guess I have a start on next Christmas. I kept it rather simple here. You can't see the paper I stamped this on, no matter how many times I tried to catch swirls in this swirly pearlescent paper. The honey colored panel is a bit shiny too.

I received this wonderful die on an exchange of cards and found a slate background that would remind everyone of night. I printed the images from this Winged Friends Printable Butterfly Digital. I was drawn to this butterfly, cut it out and used myu Copics to bring it to life. I am pleased with the outcome. What I like most about digital images is that you can resize them to your needs and wants. Try them.

Hero Arts made some special digital kits and I'm using the "Make Your Own". I haven't used these Spellbinder's dies but a couple times and I thought they would be perfect for this old fashioned digital image. No coloring, just some patterned panels and some gems. I'll give this card to a close friend who is still not over a very bad cold.

About Me

I never crafted until my sons were 8, 10 and 12. I found ceramics and with a neighbor, purchased green ware, painted, baked in my kiln and marketed on a local scale, to Flower Shops all sorts of unique ceramics. Their pianos were especially noted. Lots of dust and downward swing in the economy lowered my interest in this activity.
I tried a craft that took up less space, beading. That is still interesting, but not as much as creating paper projects, especially cards.
My oldest stamp is dated 1995. It was an off and on love, but finally, a couple years ago, I became an avid card maker.
There is a saying among card makers, “There is never enough paper”. I am now saying “NO” to paper because there is enough paper for now… well, down to one page a month for awhile.
